Three-day administrative penalty imposed on female motorcyclist

A 25-year-old woman, identified as I.T., who was racing cars on the streets of Karshi city in Kashkadarya region in a ’’key-for-key’’ challenge, has been sentenced to three days of administrative detention. QALAMPIR.UZ has reviewed the court documents.

According to the case materials, I.T., born in 2000, was found guilty under several articles of the Administrative Liability Code of the Republic of Uzbekistan: Article 128-10 (Road hooliganism), part 2; Article 194 (Failure to comply with the lawful orders of Internal Affairs officers), part 1; Article 135 (Driving a vehicle without the required documents), part 2; and Article 183 (Petty hooliganism). Based on the court’s decision, she was sentenced to three days of administrative detention.

In addition, under part 2 of Article 128-10 of the Administrative Liability Code of the Republic of Uzbekistan, and by applying Article 33 of the same Code, I.T. was fined 25 times the base calculation amount, equivalent to 10.3 million soums.

Meanwhile, another individual, identified as Sh.O., born in 2003, was also found guilty of violating part 1 of Article 128-10 (Road hooliganism), part 1 of Article 194 (Failure to comply with the lawful orders of Internal Affairs officers), and Article 183 (Petty hooliganism) of the same Code. The court sentenced Sh.O. to five days of administrative detention under Article 183 of the Administrative Liability Code. Additionally, under part 1 of Article 128-10, the offender was fined 25 times the base calculation amount, amounting to 10.3 million soums, and deprived of the right to operate any type of vehicle for a period of one year.

The blogger stated in a social media story that he had been summoned because he took other participants’ keys while playing a ’’key-for-key’’ street racing game.

’’They told me I was disturbing public order at night and promoting gambling among young people. They explained that playing key-for-key races is considered a form of gambling promotion. I did not know that before, now I do. My motorcycle has been impounded,’’ she said.

It is worth noting that earlier, several bloggers were held accountable for promoting online gambling.
